Hello,
Hello,
GDB, and I suspect binutils, and just possibly newlib (true?), as part of the release process does:
./configure sun4
(it is so that the .info et.al. files can be generated). The problem is that GDB no longer configures for the good old sun4.
This patch changes the system being used from "sun4" to "i686-pc-linux-gnu".
For binutils, can the release engineer give this a wirl.
For newlib, is this logic still used? Can that part of the file be removed?
Once we've sorted things here I'll see about pushing this upstream into GCC repository (gcc doesn't use this file).
Andrew
In light of all the positive feedback, I've committed the attached - the
only difference is that it removes the newlib.tar.gz target.
